Born in Huddersfield, Phillips started his football career playing for his local club, Huddersfield Town, before moving to Everton's academy at under-13 level. In 2016, he suffered a double knee fracture, which ruled him out for two and a half years.[3]
Phillips returned to Huddersfield Town in January 2020, originally on a loan deal until the end of the 2019–20 season.[4] The deal was made permanent on 13 July 2020, with Phillips signing until the summer of 2021, with the option of a further year's extension.[5] On 10 September, Phillips signed a new contract with the club, running end of the 2021–22 season – again with the option of an additional year.[6]
Phillips made his professional début for Huddersfield on 2 January 2021, when he came on as a substitute in their 2–1 Championship defeat to Reading, replacing Rarmani Edmonds-Green.[7] He made his first senior start for the club in a 3–2 FA Cup Third Round defeat at home to Plymouth Argyle.[8][9]
On 12 July 2021, Phillips joined League Two side Walsall on a season-long loan deal.[10] He signed a new contract with Huddersfield, running until 2025, on 20 January 2022.[11] Phillips was recalled by Huddersfield on 28 January, after scoring five goals in thirty-three appearances across all competitions.[12]
Three days later, Phillips joined League Two club Exeter City on loan, until the end of the 2021–22 season. The move was due to him playing as a winger at Walsall, but Huddersfield seeing his long-term future as a striker – which Exeter were able to cater for.[13]
